The Europeana Publishing Framework - What is it and how can you benefit?

Europeana is evolving. Technology is ever improving. The future Europeana offers the inspired, creative or entrepreneurial the ability to take what our data partners provide and use it. For innovation. For education. For research. For business. For personal enjoyment.

To manage content and deliver it in higher quality to our audiences, we’ve developed four tiers of participation in Europeana. What data partners provide will depend on their own agendas and capabilities, but the higher the quality of information provided by data partners, the more benefit they’ll create for cultural heritage institutions and their audiences.

The publishing framework clarifies the relationship between Europeana and you, our data partners. It clearly outlines what we will do for you depending on the content and metadata you decide to make available. This makes it easy for you to see what you can get out your collaboration with Europeana.
